Floquet quantum criticality
Abstract
Significance Periodically driven “Floquet” systems are nonequilibrium systems whose time translation symmetry can give rise to a rich dynamical phase structure. In the presence of quenched disorder, they can avoid thermalizing to a bland infinite temperature state through a phenomenon known as many-body localization (MBL). The ability of these driven MBL phases to host phenomena forbidden in equilibrium, such as “time crystallinity,” has gained widespread interest in recent years. In this work, we consider the question of the criticality that emerges at the transitions between distinct Floquet MBL phases. By providing a universally applicable picture and applying it to a prototypical driven system, the driven Ising chain, we identify critical points and give an understanding of Floquet criticality in general.
